Political class

In these posts, we sometimes use the term "political class" to describe the men and women who are elected to, or are otherwise a permanent part of, our government. Some choose to use the term "ruling class," which is a phrase that conjures images of an elite that rules by right.

There's little doubt voters aren't happy with the way the country is being run, and are eager for a change. There are a group of people, though, who simply can't quite grasp (or refuse to address) what's going on out in the heartland. They are members of the establishment.
